Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday renewed his call for an early end to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and said India is prepared to extend all possible cooperation in this endeavour.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to again take up with Russian President Vladimir Putin the early discharge of nearly 20 Indian nationals who are yet to be discharged from the Russian Army when the two leaders hold bilateral talks on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit at Kazan from October 22-23.
In the first US presidential debate, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris accused her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, of aligning with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday briefed Russian President Vladimir Putin on his recent Ukraine visit.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday firmly told Russian President Vladimir Putin that war is not a solution to the Ukraine crisis and said India is prepared to do what it takes to bring the ongoing conflict to an end.
Putin also underlined that PM Modi has asked him to increase the supply of fertilizers which is very important for Indian agriculture.
In Russia today, pleas for peace are far more patriotic than the neofascistic demands for escalation, amid fears that a cornered Putin might eventually resort to tactical weapons from his nation’s formidable nuclear arsenal. That would truly be madness, but then, the invasion of Ukraine in the first place was hardly a demonstration of sanity.
The measure is sensible and necessary under the circumstances that Russia is fighting "the entire Western military machine" in Ukraine, RT news quoted the President as saying.
Apart from the UNGA, PM Modi's statement became popular and was praised by international media.
"Today's era is not of war and I have spoken to you about it on the call. Today we will get the opportunity to talk about how we can progress on the path of peace. India and Russia have stayed together with each other for several decades," PM Modi told Putin expressing his concerns about the impact of the war on food and energy security
